Solutions for the Cloud

By 2020, 80% of data will be stored in the cloud. If you’re a cloud service provider, or a data center manager responsible for your organization’s hybrid cloud environment, data reduction can significantly alter your storage economics by transforming existing data centers into high density environments and reducing storage power consumption. Data reduction is a technology that allows you to put off data center expansion saving millions of dollars.

Data reduction delivers instant cost savings to cloud service providers. And, the cost advantages from new capacity optimized storage services could trigger another round of cloud storage price cuts. What would you do if your competitors cut their cloud storage prices in half? Can you match similar cutthroat prices? For hybrid cloud providers, applying data reduction to on-premises data storage can halve the cost of storage and enable you to cut operating expense to 1/6 of current levels. The addition of data reduction also enables you to optimize network utilization which substantially improves response time of data stored in the cloud.
